Seeds for apple stocks are usually taken from cider presses dis-regarding variety or source of the seeds. The pomace is separatedfrom the seeds in tubs of water as the best seeds will sink and thepomace will mostly float when the water is stirred. Other Types of Budding.—Besides the shield-budding alreadydescribed there are several other methods in use for special purposes. Prong-budding is a modification of the common shield-buddingas it uses a short prong or spur instead of the simple bud. This is Fig. 34. Fig. Fig. 34.—Buds of sweet cherries set in stems of Mahaleb cherry seedlings in July andAugust. These buds remained dormant until the next spring, when the seedlings were cutto the new bud near the ground. See the growth from these buds in figure 35. (U. S. D. A.)

The opera-tion is somewhat like grafting and is often named twig-budding. Plate-budding differs from shield-budding in having a rectang-ular cut made in the bark or the stock.
